My Interview Question
Would you like to know how being an African American can save a life?
Current Whereabouts:
How being African American can save a life! Posted June 11 Every day, thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases hope for a marrow donor who can make their transplant possible. 70% of patients do not have a donor in their family. They depend on the Be The Match Registry. They depend on people like you. Patients are more likely to find donor matches within their own racial or ethnic background. For African Americans specifically, we have more genetic diversity than any other race. However, the number of black donors on the national registry is still low. Registration is free, easy and painless (just a cheek swab). As you search for your past, someone else is searching for a future. YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE! Be The Match Registry is the new name of the National Marrow Donor Program Registry®. BeTheMatch.org BlackBoneMarrow.com
